When Katsumi steps into Mikage's shrine, she is no fragile human seeking shelter.
She is a fox yokai.
Ancient. Soft-spoken. Terrifyingly powerful.
Younger than Tomoe, with one less tail - yet carrying a strength that makes even seasoned spirits hesitate.
From the moment she meets him, she admires him.
From the moment he underestimates her, everything begins to change.
What starts as dismissal turns into respect.
Respect turns into protection.
And protection turns into something neither of them expected.
But yokai politics are not kind to love.
A snake familiar with unfinished devotion.
A tengu singer who lingers too long.
Ancient spirits who demand acknowledgment.
And a shrine that will not tolerate weakness.
As rival yokai test boundaries and secrets surface, Katsumi proves she is no porcelain deity to be guarded.
She hunts.
She protects.
She chooses.
And when two foxes decide to bind themselves beneath the sakura moon-
The world learns exactly what happens when devotion becomes eternal.
